Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Atmosphere and soil are the main media for the spread and transportation of chemical and microbiological pollutants. Emissions from soil to atmosphere are critical environmental processes representing the major pathways for pollutants to enter the atmosphere and drive regional and global transportation. Exposure to these pollutants has been linked to a multitude of deleterious health effects. However, the emission measurements, sources, fluxes and intensities of typical pollutants from soil to atmosphere remain unclear, leading to great uncertainties to simulate and predict their environmental behaviors and health risks. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to present relevant original and novel studies on the measurement and risk of organic and inorganic pollutant emissions from soil to atmosphere.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Measurement and risk assessment of pollutants emitted from soil to atmosphere;
  • Fate and control of pollutants in soil and atmosphere systems;
  • Emission inventory of pollutants in soil and atmosphere systems;
  • Effectiveness of interventions aimed to reduce emissions and improve public health;
  • Emerging pollutants of concern and their potential health impacts.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
